Halloween? All trick and no treat if you ask me. They promised me a really scary face - a jump-out-of-your-skin scary face -and they gave me a cutsie, sweet little pumpkin face instead!My Dad had a rat coming out of his skull and bloody scars in his face - I got a girlie velvet spider suit with velcro gloves.I remember being scared last year but this year was a teddy bear's picnic in comparison.I did go 'trick or treating' for the first time this year which I thought was weird - I had to ring people's doorbells, scare them half to death by screaming in their faces and they rewarded me with candies. The thing is, Mum had already bought a sack load of candy for halloween, so didn't we have enough already?Omi from Germany was here for 2 weeks which was great. It took me a few days to train her, but she was pretty good at building helicopters and cars by the time she left. The first day she got here, I gave her my City Rescue Set to play with, it kept her quiet for hours. In the end, I had to show her how to put it all together, it was getting painful to watch.We took a few rides out in the Chevy while she was here and she went to the pumpkin patch festival with us.I don't think Omi has a kitchen though back in Germany because she was in ours all the time - Mum said she is welcome to it and always has a big smile on her face every time she opens the freezer.

We did lots of Chevy stuff again this month - Kars & Kids is a classic show to help the Texas School for the Deaf and we also did a 100 mile drive to raise money for the Dell's Children's Medical Center.

About Dad & Me

On September 28th 2006, my Mum, Dad and I boarded a plane from Duesseldorf, Germany to Austin, Texas.
I was 1 year old, had no hair and couldn't walk yet, but I was old enough to know that something had changed. The air was warm, the big people talked funny and cows ran past my bedroom window twice a day.
Now I'm 3, my Dad built a toy shop for me called Carl & Me and my life has been pretty weird and wonderful ever since.
My Mum's from England, my Dad's from Germany and I'm growing up in Texas.
Confused? How do you think I feel!
